Madison Gosch, Sports Management & Marketing

I came to Roberts after falling in love with the community, my track team, and my administrators. I could tell right from the beginning that everyone on campus are my cheerleaders- they truly all want me to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. After three semesters of being an education major, Roberts introduced Sports Management & Marketing to the school. I have wanted to study this since my sophomore year of high school, so it was a clear choice to switch. Since being a SM&M major, I have enjoyed many sports marketing and sports management classes that will prepare me for both fields. I am excited to continue the next four semesters in many classes that will prepare me for my goal to be a part of the Nike Marketing team.
